Thanks for the positive feedback guys. I think I might follow up to this with some what of a "part 2" describing some other observations I've made. However, I'm considering looking for a sub again, and hopefully I'll run into someone that keeps me so distracted that I won't have time to write for a while. Realistically, that's pretty unlikely so expect part 2 sometime soon. Either way, it would be awesome if some people replied describing some experiences they've had and/or knowledge they've gained that they think others can benefit from knowing.
